So many letters addressed for delivery
iu Hawaii, prepaid at the rate of 2 cents
per ounce, are being mailed all over the
country, that X. M. Brookp, superin
tendent of foreigu mails, has found it
necessary to call the attention of the
public to the fact that tho postage rate
of 2 cents per ounce applies only to let
ters addressed to persons connected with
the United States forces in Hawaii.
The rate applicable to letters addressed
to otiier persons in Hawaii is the Postal
Union rate of 0 cants per half ounce. If
that rate is not prepaid in full, double
the amount of the deficient postage is
required to be collected of addressees
upon delivery ; that Is to say, n letter
weighing not more than half nn ounce
nnd prepaid only 2 cents, would bo sub
jected on delivery to the addressee in
Hawaii to a charge of G cunts, or double
the U cents short-paid.
Returning from a jaunt about tho hills
near his homo four miles from this city,
Sunday afternoon, Dick Elton com
plained of feeling ill. As his ailment
seemed nothing moro than a cramp colic,
little was thought of It until Tuesday
when tho pain grew worso and a physi
cian was summoned. Reaching thero in
tho evening, he at once pronounced the
trouble appendicitis, and arrangements
were made to bring the patient to the
city yesterday morning. Iu the after
noon about -1 o'clock two physicians per
formed the operation, but at once found
that tho bowels were ruptured and peri
tonitis had set In, making his chances
for recovery doubtful. Dick, who is the
youngest son of John Elton, Is 14 years
old and Iuib always enjoyed good health,
lie whs anxious for the operation to be
performed end no fear was felt in regard
to the result until the doctors discovered
peritonitis had set in.
At 11 o'clock last night, Milton Ray
mond, the second son of It, E. and Vio
let M. Williams, aged 4 years, Si months
and 10 days, died at their home four
miles from this city, in the Mt. Zion
neighborhood. Hi had been ailing for
some time, but showed no signs of any
serious trouble until 1 o'clock J estorday
morning, when li was taken with
spasms. During tho day his tonsils be
gan to swell, and to prevent his choking
to death they were removed Inst evening
about 0 o'clock. He was very weak and
grew much worso until 11 o'clock when
he died. Having no thought of any
thing beyond sickness common to child
ren of his ago until he wan taken with
spasms, and then to bo compelled to
give him up in so short a time lias been
a great trial to tho parents, who havo
tho sympathy of their friends here. The
funeral took place this afternoon at
3 o'clock, nnd tho interment was
made in Odd Fellows' cemetery.
"Oh, if it had once got fairly started
what a fire we'd havo had," was heard
many times last evening when it was
discovered where the fire was; but. it
will take j. pretty "foxy" firo to outdo
tho fire department these days, and that
which started in the steam laundry last
evening at 8 o'clock didn't succeed.
'Twas not n defective flue this time, but
defective carpenter work which caused
the firo. Instead of being placed at a
safe distance from tho chimney, the fur
ring had been put directly against it, so
that when the chimney burned out, the
heat ignited the wood and it was soon
ablaze. A small bucket of water and a
ladder wns near, so that it was kept in
check until the firemen arrived and
brought the hose into play on it. So
methodically did the firemen work that
the blaze was put out without anything
in the laundry being injured by the wa
t ;r, a rare occurrence, showing the trust
worthy character of our department.
Mr. MacAlllsterihaB taken the greatest
precaution to prevent fire; so much so
that the insurance rate has been re
duced, and every evening the premises
are looked over to see that all is safe.
None need feel concerned over fire orig
inating there.
SUNSHINE BRINGS JOY.
Damage to Wheat Will Not Exceed Ten
i'er Cent.
The sunshine this morning brought
gladness to the hearts of thousands of
farmers in Oregon, and throughout the
Northwest. The grain had stood every
drop of rain it would without spoiling,
and some had begun to show signs of
sprouting and molding.
lieporte received today at tho weather
bureau show that the damage to the
wheat crop will not be so great as was
expected. A summing up of all the
reports indicate that the loss will be
from ten to twenty per cent. This will
be partially oflTsot by the increase in the
spring grain. Many reports say that
the rains have benetitel the standing
grain, much of which was unmatured
when the rain began to fall. Up to
that time somo complaints had been
heard of swiveled grain, but now they
say spring wheat is well filled out, nnd in
many sections promises to be as good as
the fall grain was.
If these reports be correct, careful
judges think the total loss to the crop
in 0;egon should not txceed ten per
cent, provided grod weather prevails.
As to continued fair weather, the
weather bureau is a little in doubt yet.
Mr. Pague says most of the indications
are good, but it is not yet absolutely
certain that the rain has entirely passed
away. Should it begin to rain again in
a few days no one can say what the
damage will be.
While the rain lias been general over
the Northwest, persons who have just
arrived iu the city from Idaho and
points beyond, say the crop has not
been so badly damaged iu Idaho and
Montana as in Oregon and Washington,
as the season is later in the former
states, and not so much grain lias been
.cut. Those from the Walla Walla and
lCastern Oregon sections report great
alarm on the part of tho whoatgrowers,
and declare that tho coming of sunshine
today lias saved thousands upon thous
ands of wheat. Telegram.

In early days, when emigrant wagons
were not the uncommon sight they now
are, almost every wagon had painted on
tho cover tho eloquent Inscription,
"Pike's Peak or Bust." Upon return
ing it had been changed to "Busted, by
r I" This morning the genuine arti
cle passed through our streets and was
taken down the river 011 the Dalles City.
The motto was somewhat different, how
ever, and read thusly :
"Farewell to old Kansas,
We bid you adieu ;
We may go to Klondike,
But never back to you I"
If they meet with tho same fate most
Klondlkers have met, they'll wish
they'd stayed in the laud of cyclones and
grasshoppers, and their motto will prob
ably be alike to that of their fathers
who busted in endeavoring to reach
Pike's leak.

A soldier must of ncceseity bo very
versatile. 'Twill not do for him to bo
drilled in military tactics alone, ho
must bo n real jtek of all trades, and
nnToug them a forager. Realizing this
our soldier boys set themselves about
"brushing up" on thin particular lino of
duty and accordingly donned their
fatigue uniform Monday night after drill
and sallied forth, choosing as their field
of attack a water melon patch on Chap.
Denton's place about a mile and n half
from town. Creeping cautiously up on
all "fours," everything seamed quiet
along tho water front not a shot or shell
stirring in tho air. Very quietly nnd in
anything but military stylo they scaled
barb wire fences, crossed creeks nnd
finally found thememy "smiling on the
vina" and proceeded to dissect him, wh( n
suddenly on looking up they found them
selves surrounded and right 011 the firing
line, for nt ono end ot the patch stood an
old G. A. R., armed with an old fashioned
gun that works with tho pumping pro
cess, and starts in with a blaze which
extends sixteen feet from the blazer end.
On the other side was his comrade with
a regular round of revolvers'
They had that "venl, vidi, vici" look
which made the boys retreat in disorder,
encountering first a barb wire fence,
which left them tattered and torn; next
a jungle which would have done credit
to a Manila thicket, and last of all the
creek. The latter somen hat cooled their
ardor, and they finally escaped. Taking
an inventory later they found they were
somewhat negligee, but still possessed
two hats and some "pants." In the
future they'll be content with embalmed
beef and never again run up against the
boys of the G. A. It.
